Luck.
Very good advices

i sneaked inside the med running near of the africa coast in january of 1942 with a IX-B boat, but is easier because the allied radar is less developed, but i had to dive and run several times.

in 1944 probably could be done but a snorkel could be very useful.

In command aces of the deep it was very well simulated, because there are a submarine current of 6-7 knts and is impossible go to the atlantic dived.
